Albums

• Metallica - Master of Puppets
  Commonly considered to be their best album, this has some great classics, and some lukewarm tracks.

  Score: 1
  Top Picks: Master of Puppets, Welcome Home, Orion

• Metallica - S&M
  A live album, recorded with the San Francisco Symphony. While I usually like rock/symphony fusion (witness all the Alan Parsons and ELO in my collection), this one doesn’t really appeal.

  Score: .5

• Pink Floyd - A Saucerful of Secrets
  While I already had this one, I picked it up again as this is a more recent, higher-quality release. Early Floyd, as they were transitioning from their early psychadelic rock sound to progressive rock. Most of it is great, but some of it is merely good.

  Score: 1
  Top Picks: Let There Be More Light, Remember A Day, Jugband Blues

• Alan Parsons - You’re The Voice
  Actually there is no such album, I compiled these three tracks as a ‘fictitious EP’ from the three bonus tracks off the Best Of Live CD, since those were the only three tracks I bought.

  The thing about an act like Parsons is, even when they’re bad, they’re good. And these tracks… They’re great.

  Score: 2

Single Tracks

• The Alan Parsons Project - The Naked Robot
  A compilation of early edits to the instrumental tracks on I Robot. Very similar to the final releases, but there’s a few differences to be spotted.

  Score: 1

• Alan Parsons - Antarctica
  This is actually “Return to Tunguska” off A Valid Path, minus David Gilmour’s guitar overdubs. It’s a good song on its own, but it’s missing a lot of its power without the guitar.

  Score: 1 (The full version would get a 2)

• Ozzy Ozbourne - Crazy Train
  Classic metal track from Ozzy; there’s not much more to say

  Score: 1

• 3 Doors Down - When I’m Gone
  Another favorite 3 Doors Down track of mine, along with Kryptonite and Loser

  Score: 1

• Theory of a Deadman - Bad Girlfriend
  Fun, upbeat metal song about a risque girlfriend.

  Score: 1
